The senior Lord of Appeal in Ordinary makes the following Rules in exercise of the power conferred by section 45 of the Constitutional Reform Act 2005(1).

In accordance with section 45(4) and (5) of that Act the senior Lord of Appeal in Ordinary has consulted the Lord Chancellor, the General Council of the Bar of England and Wales, the Law Society of England and Wales, the Faculty of Advocates of Scotland, the Law Society of Scotland, the General Council of the Bar of Northern Ireland, the Law Society of Northern Ireland and with such other bodies representing persons likely to be affected by the Rules as the senior Lord of Appeal in Ordinary considered appropriate.

(1)

2005 c. 4. Section 45 is modified by the Constitutional Reform Act 2005 (Temporary Modifications) Order 2006 (S.I. 2006/227) so that, until the coming into force of s 23 of the 2005 Act, any reference to the “President of the Supreme Court” is a reference to the “senior Lord of Appeal in Ordinary”.
